Why study this programme?

Discover new perspectives on urban development which you can use in a future role as city developer, either in the public or private sector.

Master's programme in Spatial Planning

  • This specialisation provides a land and real estate development perspective on urban development. Cities face continuous processes of both expansion and transformation. Population growth and economic growth lead to expansion, while processes of obsolescence and decline lead to a demand for urban transformation projects. These processes usually require investments in land and property (re)development, while planning interventions provide guidelines to investors, sometimes as opportunities, but also as barriers to what an investor might see as a profitable investment.
  • You are trained to think outside given boxes by combining well-established core courses with electives providing state of the art specialist knowledge.
  • Together with lecturers and practitioners, you will develop smart and sustainable solutions for actual and future planning problems.
